Dopamine = Productivity

Dopamine is often referred to as the "happy hormone" because it generates feelings of pleasure. But that's not all dopamine does, it is a chemical messenger in your brain. It’s essential for motivation, movement, memory, mood, sleep, and behavior regulation. Dopamine is also at the center of how the brain’s reward system works. Dopamine rewards you whenever you engage in a beneficial behavior and motivates you to repeat the behavior.

Low levels of dopamine are tied to low motivation and depression. So, making sure you have enough — but not too much — is essential to living a happy, healthy, and functional life.

When dopamine makes its way to your brain, it binds to receptors in the brain that relay the message from one cell to another. This is how dopamine helps you feel pleasure like when you eat a good meal, take a brisk walk or run, attend a social engagement, give or receive praise or accomplish a goal.

Dopamine plays a role in a lot of functions including motivation, learning, attention, and blood cell function. "Dopamine makes us more engaged, more capable," says Rashmi Mullur, MD, an endocrinologist and education director for the UCLA Health Integrative Medicine Collaborative. "We feel like our best selves when we have enough."

One of the best and most natural ways to increase Dopamine is Get moving. Exercise can do a lot for our mental health.
